Inspired by the famous Aphorism 125 of La Gaya Ciencia (1882), in which the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche announced the "death of God", Idolatry proposes a journey through those “sacred games” that humanity has had to invent to survive such important announcement. Has humanity learned to live without God or has it made up new idols? Has it simply substituted the void left by God with money, celebrity, ideological extremism, futility or advertising, the "infinite nothing"? The exhibition examines these new idols that have been appearing in today's world.
